Big Ears (Holly Atkinson)

This sculpture is a anthropomorphic bust, blending a realistic human facial structure with the prominent, large ears of a creature like a rabbit, faun, or jackal. The oversized ears create a striking contrast against the texture of the human head. This design choice establishes a surreal, mythological tone, evoking a sense of ancient folklore, fantasy, or divine. Handbuilt in clay, fired and patinated with stains, washes and paints.
